    Weak battery is a potential thing to check out.

    Won't crank? DB Dead or dying battery. Won't fire? Coil packs, plugs, etc......

    usually northwest of you

    cold will affect the battery more than other associated electrical starting components

    just put a meter on it and check the output.
    cold-crank amps should be around 640 for reliable starting
